Reviews
Portico Quartet
The change of clothes on Portico's third album hits home. Hats off.
Various: Drive (Movie Soundtrack)
The soundtrack to Nicolas Winding Refn's low-budget arthouse noir 'Drive' is reincarnated cool.
Katalyst: Deep Impressions
"I'd market Deep Impressions as your party friend and protector."
R&S Records: In Order to Dance XI
"The techno/old-school undercurrent will sit nicely in the basement raves"
Thundercat: The Golden Age of Apocalypse
Thundercat is big thoughts condensed into deliberate concepts, executed with full commitment
Jono McCleery: There Is
Jono’s voice—which would laugh in the face of the Bermuda Triangle—carries us through.
Youth Lagoon: The Year of Hibernation
Everything lies in melody, tone, crescendo—all kinds of awesome.
M.E.D: Classic
Produced almost entirely by Madlib, the man who turned Guilty Simpson into Noam Chomsky
9th Wonder: The Wonder Years
Pick an MC in contemporary hip-hop that you like, and they’re probably on here.
Evidence: Cats & Dogs
Few albums go to such extraordinary lengths to please the listener as Evidence's brilliant new album.
